When John and Nicole make out in the water (about 5 feet deep) at the beginning of the movie, they are far away from the other people at the beach party. When John's leg starts glowing, she has to swim to shore and then run to the other people; but, in the video from the website, they are in shallow water (2-3 feet deep) and the person filming them is apparently quite close as the video is very clear and close up.

This is not a bad film. It's just not that great. The story feels a bit weak and there are so many plot holes it takes away part of the enjoyment. I also found myself un interested in the characters, apart from the dog, but who doesn't love a cute dog? It just seemed to be cliché after cliché after cliché. I have to remind myself I didn't go to watch shawshank redemption 2 or a William Shakespeare film adaptation. Instead I watched 90 odd minutes of blah. Good special effects and action sequences plus the added bonus of eye candy were just enough to save it. Just.
If you go to see "I am number four" I suggest you leave your brain at home then sit back and enjoy the pretty lights and moving pictures. Don't expect much and you might actually enjoy it.
